Fark has been the last place news gets posted to for quite awhile now. I usually just come here for the discussion after reading the news elsewhere and it usually takes hours before the story pops up here.

They should be required, but that's irrelevant to this particular type of deception, since these women are faking pregnancies. You can't test a non-existence baby, and the lie becomes pretty obvious a few months down the road anyway, no test needed.

Emposter:robohobo: Paternity tests should be offered at every birth. Seriously.

I know, I was just taking it a step further.

My best friend had an ex who used this tactic for months, claiming to be pregnant. He was all kinds of excited, he loved her, was totally ready to raise kid, They got hitched. Couple months later she claimed to have an abortion, broke his heart. Came clean with the truth a few weeks later.

the_cnidarian:Esroc: robohobo: Paternity tests should be offered at every birth. Seriously.

If offered then most husbands/wives will refuse it as to not risk pissing off their significant other. And they're pretty easy to get if you really do want one.

Translation: If the husband is offered a paternity test when the wife is present, he will firmly refuse to avoid conflict.

Reality: if the man has the chance to confirm the child is his without conflict, he will take it.

In many (some?) states, if you do not object at the time the birth certificate is made, you are the father regardless of any paternity test in the future. The test should be required by law before the birth certificate is issued.

People offering them for sale means nothing -- I can offer a paperback of The Da Vinci Code online for $1,000, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to buy it. I won't get really depressed unless there's actually a strong market for these things (a small part of that will be due to the fact that I threw all of my positive sticks away like a sane person instead of saving them to cash in).

In Florida at least you don't even have to be on the birth certificate if you're married. Even if the father doesn't have anything to do with the birth, If the mother can prove you were married at the time of conception then that kid is yours as far as the state is concerned. I had a friend leave his wife when he found out she was pregnant with another guys kid. The state still slapped him with child support because they were married at the time, even though his ex-wife admitted the boy wasn't his.

I don't know about that. I have a newborn son and was never asked anything, my wife did the paper work and *boom* he's mine. I agree that tests should be mandatory, however.

TomD9938:Emposter: A marriage induced by fraud can be unilaterally dissolved by request. You go with that plan ladies.

These purchased test results could also be used to manipulate the actions and emotions of a current husband.

Yes, they could, though I expect that in the long run the loss will outweigh whatever short term gain there is. If nothing else, I would think it would be good ammo at the inevitable divorce hearings, though not as good as actual infidelity.

Showering his wife with affection at the good news and later gallantly escorting her through the tragedy of miscarriage.

I'm not an expert on miscarriages, but I expect that faking one is significantly harder than faking a pregnancy test. Still, you have a sneaky mind.

I have no doubts though, because Maury. Murray.

There was a case of some guy who was slapped with child support by the state. The woman had picked his name out of the phone book. Despite never having met the woman, he was forced to spend thousands of dollars in attorney fees fighting it, even after the woman admitted he wasn't the father.

Then offer them quietly. Perhaps write it into insurance requirements. Too many women tricking their poor husbands into raising someone else's bastard.

Chimps do this. Most primates do, I believe.

While the alpha is making his rounds, some beta is farking his harem. He assumes the kids are his, of course.

You'd think that humans would be smart enough to assume otherwise.

Not just primates or even mammals. This has been observed in bullfrogs too. When the big boys are defending their territories and the females are getting all worked up, the little guys on the edge of the pond are fertilizing all the eggs. Of course they are likely to eat each other regardless of heritage. So there's that.

Since he was male and she wasn't I'll be there was no legal repercussion whatsoever, even if he filed for it.

He just let it go and divorced her. Never looked back. Now he has an innate distrust of women, and it's too bad. Best guy I know.

accelerus:After a few times of getting screwed over by the opposite sex... fark em... I refuse to waste my time/money/energy on a woman who has a high chance of doing crap like this.

Sounds like you could have been a contributor to this book. I'm in the process of reading it right now. The book is full of stuff most of us guys should find pretty obvious, but should hopefully be eye opening to women getting upset that good guys are disappearing.

To be honest, the only women I see complaining that good guys are disappearing are the horrible, immature, selfish ones with completely unrealistic expectations. All of my female friends my age (early 30s) are in stable relationships with good, mature, reliable men who have decent jobs and treat them well.

Paternity tests should be required at every birth.

Man, I'd hate to mistrust my wife so much I felt I needed a paternity test, no offense to you all who feel like you would need one. Seems like that isn't a very strong foundation on which to build a future, let alone a family.
